Job Description for Pharmacy Clerk

Pharmacy clerks, sometimes referred to as "pharmacy aides," work directly with pharmacists and similar technicians. These clerks generally work in indoor environments during traditional business hours - though this may depend on their organizations' hours - and little to no travel is required for the position.

Pharmacy clerks are often on their feet for the entire shift with some physical labor required, including lifting boxes and using equipment such as step ladders. Although formal education is not generally required beyond a high school diploma or equivalent, prior experience in customer service, pharmacies, or clerical/administrative work is highly beneficial. There are also pharmacy clerk education programs which provide training in mathematics, microcomputer keyboarding, pharmaceutical basics, etc. Those who are working to become pharmacy technicians often work as clerks to gain relevant experience.
